Sending our condolences to you all. Carolyn and Girls we are so sorry to hear about John passing. We have so many fond memories of John. He and Rick became pretty good buddy's. They're friendship started back in the 80's Rick always enjoyed the days John would stop in the shop to shoot the bull as they would say. John's famous quote when one of the girls had an accident or needed some work done. It always started with these girls are something else. He usually said the specific girls name. Lol' He was a great dad he loved his girls and his wife beyond measures. He was a great friend to our Kirk Family John will be missed deeply. We know how much he had endured with his health. He is now resting in Gods heavenly kingdom with no more pain. Rest easy our dear friend you will be missed deeply. To Carolyn and girls, always know that we are here if any of you need anything. Sincerely, Rick, Marcy, Micky, Austin and Zoey
